Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vehicle opening-closing structure comprising:
 a pair of guide rails disposed to extend on both sides of an opening provided in a vehicle; and   an opening-closing member that is slidably guided by the pair of guide rails and opens and closes the opening,   wherein the opening-closing member has a plurality of panel portions arranged along an extending direction of the guide rail, and a soft portion integrally provided with the panel portion to be disposed between the panel portion and the panel portion, and   wherein the soft portion is formed of a soft resin softer than a material that forms the panel portion.   
     
     
         2 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the soft portion is formed in any one of a concave shape, a convex shape, and an uneven shape with respect to the panel portion.   
     
     
         3 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein a thickness dimension of the soft portion is smaller than a thickness dimension of the panel portion.   
     
     
         4 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the opening is provided at a rear portion of the vehicle, and   wherein the pair of guide rails extend along an up-down direction of the vehicle on both sides of the opening in a vehicle width direction.   
     
     
         5 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein a pair of roof rails are provided on both sides of a roof of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction,   wherein the pair of guide rails further extend on both sides of the roof in the vehicle width direction, and   wherein the roof rail forms a part of the guide rail.   
     
     
         6 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein a material that forms the panel portion is a resin.   
     
     
         7 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 6 ,
 wherein the resin is a transparent resin.   
     
     
         8 . The vehicle opening-closing structure according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the panel portion and the soft portion are integrally molded.
